Top 100 Travel Tweeters of 2015: Wanderlust in 140 Characters

I’m getting a jump start on 2015 by highlighting the top travel tweeters in the business. This massive list (which took forever to make) is sure to bring you all you need when it comes to travel inspiration and information.

My goal is to bring every single person that reads this epic list of social media wanderlust-inducing brilliance, at least a handful of brand new Profiles, travel blogs and wanderers to their attention, by scrounging the very corners of the Twitter Earth to find these travel tweeters. This list is arranged only by follower numbers, and has no bearing on the quality of the blog itself. In fact, some of the profiles listed at the very bottom are my very favorite! So open you twitter page and get ready to do some following, because there is plenty here you’ll like.

Disclaimer: The descriptions of each profile were taken directly from each one. Why? Because there’s 100 of them and I can’t be bothered to write my own!

However, I have to say the number of followers is a pretty irrelevant number when not looked at in light of the ratio of followers to following. For example if I had followed back every person who has followed us since we’ve been on Twitter since 2009 we’d probably have well over 20K followers…and then there are auto-follow programs. However, we’re very selective in who we follow only following 591 to our 5,281.

As an example to take a semi-random selection #18 @wdunlap – 72.4k followers…, oops now 74.7k followers (gee, I wonder if he uses an auto-follow program) to 72.8k following is an unimpressive ratio of 0.95 follows to followers.Whereas someone like lowly #96 @rolfpotts – 6.56k followers – 947 following is certainly more impressive and relevant with a ratio of 0.14 follows to followers. Something close to our 0.17 ;).Anyone who has been on twitter for more than a few years can easily rank in the top half of this list based on followers. I bet the vast majority of the list has a ratio of more than 0.8 follows to followers which make someone like #17 @NomadicMatt – 76.8k followers and a ratio of 0.027 particularly impressive.

Well like I said at the beginning, the list is sorted by follower numbers, but that doesnt make the top ones more interesting then the bottom. But if you have it all figured out, let me know whats a better way to categorize over 100 twitter profiles. I’m all ears.

Hiya, great list, and I will make sure I am following them all. You could of course easily do another list as you missed lots of great travel tweeters 🙂 I have 15K followers and founded #WEGOOLO, the twitter community for female solo travellers. I’m living in India and there are some great travel bloggers/tweeters here too… so maybe one day you may have to do several lists, cheers.

Would love to be a part of this list by next year. we’ve just started and have a very modest following of us 2.1K but hope to be up there with the best with hopefully good content to share, a devoted following and some luck:)
